If there ever was a DJ/producer/engineer that deserved a monograph, it is probably François Kevorkian.

In this lecture at the 2013 Red Bull Music Academy, Kevorkian discussed the New York dance music history he’s witnessed since 1975.

__________________________

After moving to New York in 1975, his influential disco edits and medleys landed him an A&R job at Prelude where he helped define the dance-music zeitgeist. As a DJ, he continued to work at seminal clubs like Studio 54, The Loft, and the Paradise Garage. By the mid-’80s, François K had become an in-demand studio hand (just ask Yazoo, U2, the Cure, Diana Ross, Kraftwerk, and Depeche Mode).

In 1996, he co-founded the legendary Sunday afternoon party Body & Soul in which Kevorkian gathered Joe Claussell and Danny Krivit around him to give their musical visions a home. He’s followed that up with his current NYC weekly club residency Deep Space, where every Monday night he focuses on dub music in its various forms. Passions never grow old.
